The two very best feats.
#2
20 points. Expensive, but such a simple way to make our whole team better as needed every round. There’s probably no better use of 20 points on a team with, of course, the prerequisite Perlexer and allied beneficiaries.
# 1
5 points. The inexpensive price is what vaults this one to the top of the feat heap. It suddenly makes a HOST of Leap/Climbers and Close Combat Experts highly viable move-and-attack pieces, opening up tons more positioning options than before. But it’s also quite balanced since its two-square reach really isn’t that overwhelming. It’s the perfect example of a great feat card and it’s a real pity that more weren’t this fun and awesome.
___
The very worst feats.
#2
9 points. Even when Soaring was a thing, this feat was useless. +2 movement for move actions really was not a big deal without the ability to carry. Breaking away from other soaring characters came into play about the same number of times more than one character occupied soaring status: almost never. And the cost? At least seven points too many.
#1
12 points. Couldn’t have been much worse if they’d just written “only this one Colossus character and that one Wolverine figure can use this feat, once, EVER.” I mean, have you ever seen so many arbitrary conditions to use a power?
- Same team symbol required. This kind of makes sense, but cuts out so many combinations.
- First must have Super Strength. OK, that’s fine.
- Second must have Toughness. Sure, that’s fair. Need to be able to survive the impact. But…
- …not Invulnerability. Not Impervious. ONLY Toughness. Here’s where it gets stupid. And we’re not done.
- Can’t have more than 3 damage, either. Which is ridiculous, because…
- …It costs both a power action. Ugh. So you’re burning up two actions for one light attack! Really?!
- Hit or miss, it’s a one-time-use feat…
- THAT COSTS 12 POINTS.
Feats are supposed to increase a character’s flexibility. This one is the definition of INflexible. That’s why it’s the worst feat WizKids ever attempted.
